Tommy previously opened up about Molly-Mae's reaction to his boxing career - and admits she isn't impressed.
"She watches the ground while I fight. She only tolerates boxing because she knows how happy it makes me. That’s it. Other than that she hates it. She is looking at the father of her child getting in the ring and potentially getting hurt and getting punched. It's not nice.
